Elbow Arthroscopy
Minimally Invasive Elbow Surgery for Pain Relief and Improved Function
Orthopaedic Associates of Wisconsin offers advanced elbow arthroscopy as a minimally invasive surgical option to diagnose and treat various elbow conditions. Whether you’re experiencing persistent elbow pain, stiffness, or limited mobility, our board-certified orthopedic surgeons use arthroscopy to provide targeted, effective care with faster recovery times.
What Is Elbow Arthroscopy?
Elbow arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions around the elbow joint. This allows your surgeon to view the inside of the joint, remove damaged tissue, and correct issues without opening the joint. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as:
Loose bodies in the joint
Elbow stiffness or limited range of motion
Cartilage damage
Bone spurs
Osteochondritis dissecans
Benefits of Elbow Arthroscopy
Compared to traditional surgery, elbow arthroscopy offers several advantages:
Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
Reduced pain and swelling
Shorter recovery time
Faster return to daily activities and sports
Precise diagnosis and treatment of joint issues
Who Is a Candidate?
Elbow arthroscopy may be recommended if conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, or injections have not relieved your symptoms. Our specialists will thoroughly evaluate, including imaging and physical examination, to determine if this procedure is correct for you.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Most patients can return home the same day as their procedure. Recovery varies depending on the specific condition treated, but typically includes physical or occupational therapy to restore strength, flexibility, and function. Our therapy team will guide your rehabilitation with a customized plan to help you heal safely and return to the activities you enjoy.
